Shu Jiao Fu Zhou Cuisine

Location: Chinatown, Manhattan

The dumplings are only served steamed, but they're so tasty and cheap, you'll be heading back the next night for more. We suggest ordering takeout because the ambience isn't the nicest, so just don't plan a first date here.

Some people think the prices at Red Farm are a little high for the amount of food you get in each order, but no one can deny their deliciousness. Besides the mushroom dumplings, they also have adorable Pac-Man dumplings that are totally Insta-worthy.

Even though The Bao is no longer serving their soup dumplings, their pan-fried dumplings still make this St. Marks Chinese restaurant worth a stop. They're crispy and delicious.

Tianjin Dumpling House

Location: Flushing, Queens

These made-to-order dumplings at Tianjin Dumpling House, in the basement of the Golden Shopping Mall, are a must. Serious Eats says they are the best in the city. They only come boiled, but that won't matter when you're chowing down on a plate of 12 vegetable dumplings that cost $5.

Choose between pan-fried or boiled dumplings at any of Vanessa’s Dumpling House’s three locations. Whichever you pick, you'll love them. It’s a favorite among NYU students. You can also get bubble tea to finish out your meal.
